If someone left their family in their running BMW in a closed garage asphyxiating them all, would you blame BMW?

I personally appreciate the double-lock feature. As many have noted, it makes it impossible to open the doors which is a major deterrent if some lowlife tries breaking a window to gain entry. The average criminal won't want to be bothered with climbing through the window.

While the story is certainly sad and disturbing, why in the world would anyone lock someone in a car without the keys regardless of the make? Common sense is not so common I suppose.
It is interesting to me how some people view this so differently.

I see it as a design fault.

You don't see it that way.

Why do we see this so differently?
